Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 lower. The demand for all classes of feeder cattle was lower and the quality of today's offering wasn't as good as in the previous weeks. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $32.77/cwt here — about $165 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
